Dow shuts down Bay City Central on the road

200128-dow-bcc-girls-final

Tuesday’s game could have been viewed as a trap game for Dow. They have rival Midland coming up on Friday and haven’t lost to Bay City Central in over 10 years. But the Chargers played defense like it was a Regional Final and beat the Wolves 55-36.

The full-court trapping defense of Dow sped up Bay City Central early and caused easy turnovers, but the Chargers missed several open looks including point-blank shots in front of the basket. Bay City Central hung tough in the first half and trailed 28-18 at the break. Alecsis Smith had 10 of Bay City Central’s 18 first-half points.

The Chargers looked refocused in the second half and sprinted out to a 10-0 run in the opening minutes, thanks in large part to back-to-back threes from junior Chloe McVey. Jada Garner added another trey and the Chargers blew the game wide open. Bay City Central never got it under 14 points after the opening run.

Dow improves to 10-2 with the win heading into the rivalry rematch with Midland on Friday night. The game can be heard on ESPN 100.9 FM starting at 5:30 PM.
